2011 Census: Producing the Numbers
==================================

1 June 2009, Royal Statistics Society
This meeting will offer the first integrated presentation of the proposed end-to-end methodology for the production of 2011 census population estimates.  Aspects of 2011 census proposals, particularly the use of post-out and post-back of questionnaires, a parallel internet data collection channel, coverage survey and increased use of external data sources for census validation all present new opportunities and challenges compared with previous censuses.  The event will comprise four presentations by the Office for National Statistics, each presenting the proposed methodology for an important stage of the census processing and followed by an initial review by an expert discussants: Prof Phil Rees, Prof Ian Diamond; John Bradley and Prof Ludi Simpson.  Presentations will note major differences of methodology within the UK and there will be opportunity for open discussion on each topic.

The second of these is not yet on the RSS website but both are bookable by emailing conference@rss.org.uk for a booking form.
